Do you find you get tennis elbow at all?

Dips - using the hoops, starting with the handles within the hoops level with my xiphisternum, so elbows bent at about 90 degrees: EMWM for 10 minutes: 10 singles. I suspect I had the handles an inch or two higher than normal as these were hard.
Weighted - 7g - one arm chest to floor knee press-ups, alternating arms:
R: 4 5 5 5.
L: 4 4 5 5.
5 sets of chin-up/pull-ups using the hoops, totalling 14.

The same session as on the 27/2/25 with some trivial differences. I again tried a one arm toe press-up - still no.

You're in distinguished company.

I'm at the thin end of a strength exercises wedge now myself.

I was doing my indoors pre-run warm up - running gently on the spot for about 5 minutes - when radio 4 caught my attention - they were talking about smart watches - so I carried on and did my S+C session - usually I do it at about 5pm.
Dips - using a chair - 4 sets of 30. I didn't use the hoops - the straps dig into my upper arms - it has become quite painful - I need to find a way of making the straps more comfortable.
Weighted - 7g - one arm chest to floor knee press-ups, alternating arms:
R: 8 8 7 7.
L: 8 8 7 6.
5 sets of chin-up/pull-ups using the hoops, totalling 13.
Session duration 40 minutes.
On the radio they mentioned that the accelerometers in smart watches can detect Parkinson's Disease up to 7 years before it would normally be diagnosed. They also looked at the pulse/breathing/blood pressure response to pain - water at 4 degrees C - using a female subject, and said that women are more resilient to pain than men. I have seen 2 studies looking at the pain tolerances of the sexes - squeezing the achilles tendon, and ice cold water - the men tolerated much more discomfort than the women.
